Iranians of Azerbaijani nationalism and the Armenian minority follow closely what is happening in the contested Karabakh region, and do not hide their emotional and ethnic connection with the states of Azerbaijan and Armenia.
On the other hand, the official political position in Iran is developing, according to which Armenia has occupied Azeri lands, based on what Tehran described as international laws and borders recognized by the United Nations.
The Armenian minority does not exceed 1% of the total population in Iran, and they are neither geographically nor emotionally distant from what is happening in Karabakh.
"I feel an emotional, religious and ethnic connection with Armenia," says Sergey Barskyan, a consultant at the Iran Media Foundation, who is a member of this minority.
But I am Iranian and Armenian, and I know the meaning of the fear of turning the conflict on a more dangerous front.
The journalist of the Insaf News website, Brisa Salehi, says that the fact that I am Iranian Azeri increases my rejection of any external intervention in the crisis.
"I get upset when the Azerbaijani side incurs any losses," she added. "But I try to give priority to my rejection of war."
The Azerbaijanis in Iran did not hide their sympathy with Azerbaijan, so they translated it on the ground with demonstrations in support of Baku, so Tehran drew its position with the existence of a balanced and influential Azeri nationalism, and an Armenian minority that cannot be ignored despite its small numbers.
